Chapter eight hundred and thirty-ninth one thing descends one thing
The third prince and the fourth prince went to the Duke Zhao's Mansion to visit his wife. Although they were traveling incognito, since Rui Qiying was to be brought with them, the momentum of course could not be too small. Therefore, their group had just entered the Duke Zhao's Mansion.
Many well-informed people over there have already gotten the news.
Even though the Tai Madam is the Queen Mother's biological sister, the third prince and the Fourth Prince should theoretically call the Tai Madam their great aunt, which is what the people call great aunt. However, before the Third Prince canonized the Crown Prince, the emperor did not often take the two brothers out of the palace.
After the third prince was crowned the crown prince, he and the fourth prince were not seen frequently visiting the Duke of Zhao's residence. Now, of course, more and more people have some suspicions.
If the wife hadn't suddenly become seriously ill and was dying, how could the two young princes in the palace suddenly come to visit?
For a time, even the head of the Etiquette Department of the Admiral Huitong Pavilion suddenly made a desperate move and publicly impeached Zhu Er and three others for trespassing into the Huitong South Pavilion without permission. However, the emperor angrily took out a joint petition signed by the three and rejected it.
There is also another explanation.
After all, the wife is also the emperor's aunt. Now that everyone is sick and about to die, her grandson is still being held accountable? She just broke into the Huitong South Hall without permission, not the Liubu Yamen. Is the head of the Rites Department out of his mind?
It's better to be patient for the time being and wait until Zhu Jing and Ding You hand over the post of Minister of War, then it's not too late to pursue and fight!
Of course, there are smarter people, such as relatives who are related to the Zhu family, who urgently prepared many gifts for visiting patients, and then hurried to Zhao Guogong's Mansion, hoping to have a wonderful time with the Crown Prince.
A chance encounter. However, if the fourth prince knew what they were thinking, he would definitely laugh and ridicule these people for overthinking.
He "educated" Luo Sanhe with his own experiences along the way, but as soon as he followed the third prince to Qing'an Hall and sat there for a long time, the wife started to chase him away. Even though she was still very weak, she was still strong as ever.
The tone is quite strong.
"Has Your Highness the Crown Prince passed the class today? If you ask for leave, what will your gentlemen think? The Fourth Prince has been out for so long, how many classes do you still have to make up for? Do you still have time to waste with me?"
"Don't say that I'm not dead yet. Even if I am, you don't need to mobilize a large army. One prince and one prince will come to see me together! Yingying can go to the girls' school with peace of mind and say that she will accompany me again in the afternoon. You guys will do the same. Give them all to me.
Hurry back to Ciqing Palace to study!"
This morning, Zhu Er, who was conscientiously attending the Qing'an Hall, saw that his grandmother could even scold the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince in a matter-of-fact tone. He couldn't help but feel that it was nothing for him to be scolded or even beaten by his grandmother in the past.
Nothing. Therefore, he did not dare to speak for the third prince and the fourth prince. He just held his breath and pretended not to exist.
However, since Mrs. Tai had regained her consciousness, she naturally would not see such an old grandson beside her. She immediately said without any doubt: "Erlang, go and send His Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince back to the palace, and do your best."
things."
Zhu Er was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the wife was not sure whether the third and fourth princes knew that he, Ji Jiu and Zhang Datou were acting according to the order, so she did not specify what he was going to do. However, he had promised his father and brother in the morning
I want to take good care of my illness at home, but I can't help but stop talking at this time.
However, the wife did not give him any chance to delay any longer: "There are still your mother and your sister-in-law at home. There are many people who take turns to accompany me. It's useless to have you one more! Go quickly!"
Seeing Mother Jiang on the side slightly nodding at him, Zhu Er finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and make a gesture of invitation to the third and fourth princes. Seeing that these two people were helpless against the Tai Madam's stubbornness, he said a few words of "take care and..."
After talking about rest and recuperation, he walked out. When he was sending people out, he said with an embarrassed look: "Grandma always says this. My dad was scolded by her in the morning."
The fourth prince nodded sympathetically: "I can imagine what happened when you planned to give Sister Yingying some random mandarin duck music to Senior Brother Lu." You're lucky if you don't get beaten to death!
He didn't expect that the fourth prince would be so harmful to others. Zhu Er was almost mad. But in the past when he was in Banshan Hall, he was not too afraid of Renhe and the third prince. Now that the third prince is already a prince, he has no choice but to
He also had a little respect for the fourth prince. Therefore, he glared at the fourth prince fiercely and finally stopped talking at all.
But before they left the hall in front of Qing'an Hall, the third prince suddenly whispered: "Father said that at today's meeting, the matter of your trespassing into the south hall of the Union Hall yesterday will be settled, and the Korean mission will also be allowed to go free.
Entering and leaving the South Hall, that is to say, if you, Ji Zhaichang and Zhang Zhaichang want to take that tiger out of Korea, you can already do so."
Zhu Er was stunned for a moment, and then said with relief: "After His Highness the Prince returned, he thanked the Emperor for me and said that our work was not reliable and caused him trouble."
The fourth prince didn't care about Zhu Er's glare at him, and looked back at him like a demonstrator: "You know you are causing trouble, but you still make such a big fuss. I don't know what is so great about that young Zheshanjun.
My father is also so interested in him."
Hearing the fourth prince's tone, Zhu Er realized that people don't know anything. He suddenly felt proud and proud, and his eyes showed that you don't understand anything so you should talk less. But Youdao was just giving the blind man a flirtatious look,
His eyes were in vain in the eyes of a person like the Fourth Prince who was the least likely to look at him.
Not only did he not understand, he suddenly turned his head and said to the third prince: "Third brother, since it's not a big deal for Zhu Erlang and the others to trespass into the Huitong South Hall, I also want to watch the fun with them."
"Don't go!" The third prince not only refused, but also suddenly grabbed the fourth prince's wrist - he was really afraid that if he didn't catch him, he would go his own way again and cause some messy trouble. The fourth prince didn't know
, but he knew it, because his father clearly told him, the prince, that there was something wrong with the Goryeo tribute girl this time.
In the certificate of credence given to Goryeo by the imperial court, there was no mention of requesting tribute beauties from Goryeo! My father did not intend to accept any beauties from Goryeo either.
Therefore, after making sure that the fourth prince could not run away, the third prince said to Zhu Er: "The head of the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette is said to have said to Lord Nazheshan of Goryeo that if he did well in the Imperial College, he might be able to do well in the future.
He may be serving as a student at Ciqing Palace. You might as well find out what the tiger has to say about this matter."
Zhu Er was simply astonished to the extreme. That boy from the Goryeo royal family was indeed only a little older than the third and fourth princes. He could use people from foreign countries to attend Ciqing Palace. Is this true for the third prince?
"Father said, even if the head of the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette is just joking, his words are too casual, so you have to test whether the Zheshanjun is serious. If he is not serious, it is best. It means that he hopes to return as soon as possible.
In the homeland of Goryeo, I never thought that after finishing my studies, I would become an official in our court. But if I take it seriously..."
When retelling the story, the third prince tried hard to imitate the emperor's tone at that time: "That means that he, the nephew of the great king, is also quite feared in the country, so he wants to avoid the people over there by hiding with us.
Fight."
After Zhu Er heard his father say these three words, he entered the mode of listening attentively. After listening, he nodded quickly, but then said uncertainly: "I think, this kid
He didn’t seem to be willing to come to the capital. The three of us went to investigate before, and he seemed to sincerely admit his mistake, but..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Ergong, who had confessed his mistake many times since he was a child, coughed dryly and said: "But he seems to really hope that the court will send him back to Goryeo because of his mistake in sitting in the sedan chair!"
The fourth prince suddenly raised his brows: "He is indeed cunning! Third brother, we can't just let him go like this!"
"If it weren't for the rules left by Taizu, no one would want to keep him." The third prince ignored his fourth brother who obviously wanted to get involved with Nanguan, but he quite agreed with Zhu Er's judgment.
, because his father told him that Zheshanjun's father died early, and his mother was widowed to raise him and his brother. Now that he has arrived alone in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, where his mother and brother depend on each other, he must really want to go back.
When Zhu Er saw that the third prince was still holding on to the fourth prince, he triumphantly made a helpless expression at the person, pretending that he didn't see the person desperately making various grinning expressions towards him.
So, when he sent the two people to the gate, he saw that the carriages and horses were all ready. While he was diligently escorting the third prince and the fourth prince to the carriage, he winked at the fourth prince, making him almost scream in anger. But just when he was about to put down the carriage.
As he was sending the East Palace group away, he suddenly heard a commotion. When he turned around to look, he saw that the rear group of the escorting elite cavalry battalion seemed to be in some commotion.
Although these guards were all wearing casual clothes, this was in front of the Duke Zhao's mansion. He didn't think anyone would rush over without eyes, so he immediately raised his voice and asked: "What's going on behind the scenes? Who is coming?"
?"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a very familiar voice: "Zhu Er, is this the Crown Prince coming? I thought, why did you even stop me!"
The fourth prince also recognized that it was Zhang Chen's voice, and quickly put his head in and said: "That's Zhang Chen, let him come over!"
Although the fourth prince was talking to himself over the third prince, Rui Qiying already knew that Zhang Chen was not an outsider, and it was his duty to stop him before. Since the fourth prince said so, they let him go.
So, Zhu Er saw Zhang Chen, who was dressed in a dusty body, riding forward on horseback, but there was no entourage behind him. He didn't know whether he was stopped by the Hou Tou Rui cavalry camp, or whether he didn't have any entourage at all.
He didn't know about the public case in Ciqing Palace yesterday. At this time, he wanted to make fun of the speed of people's retribution, but he never thought that after Zhang Chen stopped, he shouted angrily: "Zhu Er,
You guys didn’t even wait for me when you came to Huitong South Hall!”
The fourth prince suddenly became excited and quickly opened the window of the carriage and shouted: "That's right, I also want to go together. Zhang Chen, please come and help persuade the third brother of the prince!"
Zhang Chen would not casually help the naughty boy like the fourth prince. He walked to the carriage and jumped off the horse. When he saw the third prince leaning out, he solemnly raised his hand and said: "Your Highness, this is
Are you coming here with the Fourth Prince to visit the Madam? I, who have just returned to the city, have heard about it. When I rode over quickly on the road, I encountered someone carrying big and small boxes coming this way."
"I'm afraid I heard that you two came to visit me, so I planned to have a chance encounter."
As soon as these words came out, the third prince paid no attention to the fourth prince who planned to stay with him to join in the fun in the South Pavilion. He grabbed the man's collar again, then nodded gratefully towards Zhang Chen and said: "Thank you for informing...
...Quick, start back to the palace immediately!"
Seeing that the fourth prince was dragged back with resentment on his face, the window of the carriage was lowered, and then a group of well-trained guards from the Ruiqi Battalion escorted the carriage and left immediately. Only then did Zhu Er glance sideways at Zhang Chen, who was full of energy, and suddenly
He chuckled.
"Okay, Zhang Chen, I got some of the essence of my brother-in-law's deceitful skills and sent these two away so gently and skillfully! It's just that you don't have anything to do with the matter at the South Pavilion, so just go and take care of it.
Rest!"
Zhang Chen was about to retort, but he didn't want Zhu Er to take a step closer, and then whispered: "It's just the three of us who are acting according to the order. If you are able, you can go to the palace and ask for the emperor's permission. Do you understand?"
If this kind of high-sounding reason is used to prevaricate others, it is no problem, but who is Zhang Chen? He was not discouraged at all, but said with a smile: "Oh, you really don't want my help.
?Haha, okay, I'll go visit your wife now. Gee, I don't know how many people will come to visit me in the past few days. If your grandson is not here..."
"The reputation of being unfilial will make people's ears calluses!"
Zhu Er didn't expect that Zhang Chen would threaten him like this, and he was really angry for a moment. Even Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying, and Jiuniang all supported him to continue to fulfill the emperor's orders, and the wife also kicked him out.
He came out, but others didn’t know! Although he could make others think that the wife’s condition was not serious by hanging around outside, it still couldn’t stop Zhang Chen from causing mischief!
For a moment, he could only glare at Zhang Chen, but when he saw that Zhang Chen was fine, he finally scolded with a long face: "Why are you so free? You have to take care of this nosy business!"
"You said I'm free, so why should I care about other people's business?" Zhang Chen chuckled. He heard the news about the wife's illness when he was walking halfway into the city. In addition, Zhu Er and the other three people were trespassing.
He knew there was something fishy about the meeting with the South Pavilion. As expected, Zhu Er was not tight-lipped just now and just let it out. These three were really doing things according to orders!
When Zhang Chen asked him this question, Zhu Er was even more angry: "You have the ability to interfere with Lu Sanlang. He is now lobbying various dignitaries to provide money and people. The name of the Northwest Development Fund has been stolen by him."
The screams were so loud that the things we did were much more dignified than what we did here! You didn’t dare to fight with that damn little fat guy, but why did you come here to rob us?"
Now, Zhang Chen was angry: "Who said I don't dare to fight that damn little fat guy?"
